lyrics

Butterfly
I wish you a long and happy life
All the flowers of a summer day
Green fields to fly over
A warm wind to carry you
Butterfly
I wish you a long and happy life

Red-apple boy
You're the sound of the morning air
You're the sound of the light in my house
You're the sun going down
The stars that shine at night are not as bright as we find you
Butterfly
I wish you a long and happy life
